The Tampa Bay Rays have not lost a home series to the Toronto Blue Jays since August of 2019, and they will look to keep that streak intact Sunday with a win in the rubber match of this three-game weekend series. Luis Patiño (1-0, 5.19 ERA in 2020 with San Diego) will make his Rays debut after officially being recalled after Saturday night’s win, taking on Hyun Jin Ryu (1-2, 3.00 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 1:10.
